The wrapper 3 is of suitable waterproof transparent or semitransparentpaper and is of the crosslike form shown consisting of a centralportion, end portions 1 and 8, and side portions 6 and 5, 5', each ofwhich forms a continuation of the central portion. One of the sideportions, 5, 5' in the drawing, is divided into two substantially equalparts 5 and 5 by a notch 4 preferably perpendicular to its outer edge.The purpose of this notch will appear later.

The fuses are laid parallelto each other and to the sides of the notch 4 in the space between thefuse ends of the two rows of fire-crackers but extend beyond theconfines of the wrapper when it is closed as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4.
